CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

weird dream last night. there was a huge tree standing outside a house. it had gigantic roots all over the place. most of the roots were halfway in and above the ground. i picked one of these roots up (think of one of these roots as the size of a big python or something) i started pulling on this root. i kept going down the road with the root in my hand until i got to the end of the street. then it wouldn't go any further. i started tugging on this thing. it started to give way slowly. i looked back up the distance and noticed that the end of the root was tied to a power pole. i thought, "what the hey". so i yanked it one last time and the power pole and the root gave way. a few seconds later i heard the sound of the tree start to break off. it crashed over a house and great was the destruction.
a few minutes later i remember a huge flood of water. the only retreat was at the top of a hill where people started gathering at. the rest of the people who couldnt get to the hill stayed in their automobiles. as long as they kept their engines on their vehicles would float. but as soon as they turned them off they would sink.
then there was sassy. mr. sloan took ownership of her. he worked for the school somewhere. perhaps a coach.

IJWTS I'm pretty pumped about seeing the new Superman movie tonight. It looks pretty epic.
Also,
'And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?'
-Mark 8:34-36

I can think of one poster in particular that confuses me with nearly everything they write. I have no idea if what they write is genuine, or if it is someone who likes to play tricks on people in forums. But I'm too paranoid to ask anyone else about it for fear of retaliation(?) from this poster. I'm just genuinely curious, but maybe it's for the best if I don't know...

Predictably eccentric and honestly hypocritical
IJWTS is there a full moon tonight? It seems like everybody is going crazy here and turned into aggressive evil twins of themselves.
I remember my PA friend who works in the ER telling me that everyone at her hospital hates full moon nights because that is when the weirdest people come in and the strangest accidents happen.

I can confirm that. I always could tell when a full moon was approaching its peak when I worked in the mental hospital. The crazy got crazier.
As for the mood here last night (tonight), I'm still baffled at how twisted people's panties can get from voluntarily reading about another's life. Guess we all have our hobbies, eh?

IJWTS-
It's good to be back, though I do believe I will be a morning/night poster only.
IAWTS-
To sum up the events of this week:
"They say a shave and a haircut is worth two bits
But that ain't the way I remember it"
People can be friends. Or they can be backstabbing enemies. Otherwise they will fall somewhere between those lines. People who you once thought were friends may turn out to be the most two-faced of strangers. People you once thought were enemies can be the most invaluable teachers you meet, maybe for one reason or some other. But in the end, we all have something to share and something to teach.
Here are my two bits, after this grueling hell-tour I have experienced:
we have our dark demons. We all do. We all regret something, and we are all ashamed of something. But, instead of turning away from that dark past we have, embrace it, internally embrace it. It make take a day, it may take a month, but if you embrace it and learn what went wrong or why you did what you did, you will not only understand yourself a little bit more, but you also learn more about the facts of human nature. You can use the demons you have and turn them into your angels, and the experiences you have obtained can be equipped to help you maintain the equilibrium it takes to make life not only enjoyable for yourself, but also for others. Learn. Grow. Respond positively. And never forget, never hide, never run. Because when we fear our past, we fear the ability to move forward, unto new frontiers.
Right now I am facing my largest demons, and I learned today that I can take those nightmares in the corners of my mind, and let them overwhelm me, or I can understand them, and finally walk free; free from any shackles that hold me back.
"Every mistake you make, will make you great"
